Average incomes were 1,000-5,000 bahts per month. 27.1 and 33.7 percent finished primary and secondary school respectively. 50.8 percent of them began to abuse drugs at the age 15-20 yrs.old. Most of them began taking drug because of wishing to experience it for 57.3 percent and from the persuation of friends for 34.7 percent.
